ABB has developed a condition-based maintenance approach for variable speed drives. Operating in the cloud, the data-driven methodology can identify the risk of potential component failures one to two years ahead. By Stefano Legnani, Global Service Product Manager, ABB. Over a number of years, discussions with users of variable speed drives (VSDs) in critical applications […]
The rapid development of real-time sensing and monitoring technologies for improving early leakage and water quality anomaly detection are an effective way to address these challenges as ABB’s Clayton Mead describes: There is increasing pressure on water utilities to lower their total cost of ownership and high leakage rates. By combining smart monitoring technology with variable speed drives […]
A single failure or plant trip can result in substantial production losses, especially for industries operating in hazardous areas. Remote condition monitoring minimises any risk of unplanned shutdowns but has been limited for hostile environments by the lack of a cost efficient and easy to deploy solutions. The arrival of a new variant of the […]
David Hughes, ABB UK’s Managing Director looks at the powertrain technologies currently available to the water industry and asks if their potential is being fully realised. Finding ways to deliver innovation in the UK water industry has long been a bone of contention between Ofwat and the water companies. With innovation very much a keystone […]
Steve Hughes, ABB’s digital lead for its motion business, discusses how digitalisation is changing the face of the pump powertrain. Pumps are a vital part of processes in many industries, not least the water and wastewater sector. In this industry, the health and wellbeing of a water utility’s customers are at stake and as such, […]
A new predictive maintenance service from ABB is set to improve the reliability of critical drives used in demanding environments. ABB AbilityTM Predictive Maintenance for drives harnesses the power of cloud computing, machine learning and ABB’s expertise, together with a remote monitoring system. Predictive maintenance is a widely used term in connection with mechanical equipment such […]
The low voltage (LV) motor is the workhorse of industry, driving conveyors, mixers, pumps and fans. Monitoring the condition of each LV motor is a complex and costly challenge. That all changes with ABB’s smart sensor technology. Now tracking the motor’s health is as simple as opening a smartphone app. Studies show that a good […]
